Shining Light
Morning gave birth to a shimmering sapphire;
absent were clouds in the sun drenched sky
Horizons held captive dread winds of solitude;
day's dawning arrived shed of lonely sigh
Passing years, each cloaked in dusking gray,
faded within the brilliance upon this day
Into my life you entered adding light to shade;
from succumbing darkness you led the way
Graced by the presence of eternal Father's son,
uplifted was sight beyond foreboding's mask
Pestilence of mind withered to a gentle touch;
sipped willingly was wine inside an offered flask
From vineyards of Heaven my spirit was fulfilled;
whispered words of acceptance conquered the night
Tomorrow's approach, once consumed in doubting fear,
comes welcomed today immersed in Son's shining light
